  1. Chapter 10Text 40-42 Opulences of Krsna are unlimited.

  2. Text 40-41 nänto 'sti mama divyänäà vibhüténäà parantapa eña tüddeçataù prokto vibhüter vistaro mayä yad yad vibhütimat sattvaà çrémad ürjitam eva vä tat tad evävagaccha tvaà mama tejo-'àça-sambhavam O mighty conqueror of enemies, there is no end to My divine manifestations. What I have spoken to you is but a mere indication of My infinite opulences. Know that all opulent, beautiful and glorious creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.

  3. Opulences of Krsna are unlimited. • There is no limit to opulences of the Lord. • Not all the opulences and energies can be explained. Simply a few examples are being described to Arjuna to pacify his inquisitiveness. • Any glorious or beautiful existence should be understood to be but a fragmental manifestation of Kåñëa's opulence, whether it be in the spiritual or material world. • Anything extraordinarily opulent should be considered to represent Kåñëa's opulence.

  4. Text 42 atha vä bahunaitena kià jïätena tavärjuna viñöabhyäham idaà kåtsnam ekäàçena sthito jagat But what need is there, Arjuna, for all this detailed knowledge? With a single fragment of Myself I pervade and support this entire universe.

  5. Krsna as creator, maintainer, and annihilator. Song from Bhaktivinoda Thakur, tumi sarveçvareçvara, brajendra-kumära! tomära icchäya viçve såjana saàhäratava icchä-mato brahmä korena såjana tava icchä-mato viñnu korena pälanatava icchä-mate çiva korena saàhära tava icchä-mate mäyä såje kärägära“O youthful son of the King of Vraja, You are Lord of all lords. According to Your will, creation and destruction take place in the universe. According to Your will Lord Brahmä creates, and according to Your will Lord Viñnu maintains. According to Your will Lord Çiva destroys, and according to Your will Mäyä constructs the prison house of this world.”

  6. Kåñëa is asamaurdhva • asamaurdhva means that no one is superior to Him and that no one is equal to Him. In the Padma Puräëa it is said that one who considers the Supreme Lord Kåñëa in the same category with demigods—be they even Brahmä or Çiva—becomes at once an atheist.

  7. Conclusion Çréla Baladeva Vidyäbhüñaëa, a great äcärya in disciplic succession from Kåñëa, concludes his commentary on this chapter by saying, yac-chakti-leçät suryädyä bhavanty aty-ugra-tejasaù yad-aàçena dhåtaà viçvaà sa kåñëo daçame 'rcyate From Lord Kåñëa's potent energy even the powerful sun gets its power, and by Kåñëa's partial expansion the whole world is maintained. Therefore Lord Çré Kåñëa is worshipable.
